Here’s this week’s lineup! The feature food is zucchini!
Did you know you can eat zucchini raw?
It’s true! I just learned that recently! I had only ever eaten zucchinis cooked before so it never even crossed my mind. For this meal plan I recommend buying either a bagged salad or ingredients to make a salad. Consider buying an extra zucchini and shaving it into ribbons to add to your salad or shredding it. This wouldn’t keep well in the fridge so just plan to add it to your bowl just before serving.
SHOPPING TIP: Yellow and green zucchinis taste virtually the same! Try buying a new colour next time.

This Week’s Lineup!
If you have an hour or two on the weekend to take some time to prep parts of your meals, then you can get dinner on the table so much faster during the week! Here are some meal prep ideas:
1. Chop your veggies
Chop your veggies and then place each meal’s worth of veggies in a ziploc bag.
Sweet n Smoky Chili: Chop the onion and peppers.
Easy Summer Spaghetti: Chop the onion and zucchini.
Peanut Chicken Noodle Bowl: Chop the red pepper. Slice the mushrooms, zucchini, and red onion.
Pistachio Salmon Cakes with Apricot Rice: If you are serving this with a side salad, cut the veggies for that salad.
2. Prepare your sauces
Pistachio Salmon Cakes with Apricot Rice: Make the dressing for the side salad (Savoury Turmeric Salad Dressing).
3. Prepare your protein
Sweet n Smoky Chili: Cook the beans.
Happy meal prepping!
Pair these with some sauteed green beans or a side salad and you’ve got a complete meal! I would love to suggest this Savoury Turmeric Salad Dressing (ingredients for this dressing are not included in the shopping list).
My family do not care for lentils any suggestions for replacemeny
Chicken would work well!
